FREE SPIRIT by Earth Angel & Gentle Spirit ~~~~~~~ The wind breathes life into my being While the moon brings serenity and peace My spirit does soar far above me As free as a bird in release Tranquility is found in the quiet My soul flies among distant stars I'm mesmerized by gossamer moonbeams As she casts her spell from afar Limned by the light of sweet Luna With the mist of sea spray on my face I reach my arms up to the heavens And I'm one with all time, and all space At one with my being and spirit In this vast and great galaxy And all that is contained within it Makes up the very heart of me I twirl and sing with abandon I know not my beginning or end No walls or divisions to part us I am moon, stars, sea and the wind. ~~~~~~~ |

Donna! I am so happy you dropped by! Yes, I agree. Collaborating on a poem is a wonderful way to stretch ourselves---putting two minds and hearts together to make one song. I thank you for this opportunity to grow with you! ~ 'Til we sing again! ~ Linda |

SE, yes the flow is one of the hardest things to maintain during a duet but Linda and I had this sympatico thing going on which made it fairly easy in this case. Hugs. |

See that is what was so wonderful about this duet Karilea, we wrote it as such that without bolding or italics it is hard for anyone to tell who wrote which part which is what truly makes it unique to both of us!! I am so glad that you didn't miss this dear friend!! HUGS If I have touched one heart through my words, then I have acheived my dream... |

Are you two attached at the hip, or what? I know a particular poetess who claims that fame with me... |

lol at Kari. We are not attached at the hip dear, we just had thoughts so much alike during this duet. I knew that Linda would make this duet perfect when I asked her to bless it with her words!! I just knew.... Hugs to you. If I have touched one heart through my words, then I have acheived my dream... |

Donna and Linda....This is just as great and touching every single time I read it over....You know, I'm finding myself using that "reverse" gear I have acquired to return to much of the poetry of all of you that I've already read. Do any more of you do that? I thought so. HeeHee! It's wonderful, isn't it?!? Love to all, Ethel......Gary's Lady |
